Moonlite Elite Reclining Camp Chair (2025), by Nemo, is a reclining hiking chair, weighing only 617g, that eliminates any excuse for leaving comfort behind when you head out on the trail.
Offering both reclining suspension and stable support, the Moonlite Elite features innovative design solutions that eliminate unnecessary weight and help the chair fit easily into your pack.
The all-new chair suspension system replaces webbing with a thin cord that combines HTP and Dyneema®, two fibers that have proven their strength and water resistance through proven use in climbing, sailing, and other safety-critical activities. This high-strength cord passes through a beautifully designed hardware element (inspired by belay devices) that is lightweight, low-profile, and allows for smooth reclining of the chair.
The forged aluminum hubs and molded corner supports have been strategically weight-optimized while maintaining impressive strength and reliable durability. This hardware "skeletonization" process eliminates every ounce of unnecessary material and is the result of complex design problem-solving and in-depth technical analysis. The result? An elevated, thoughtful design and a true hiking chair unmatched on the market.
Equally unique is the Moonlite Elite's tool roll-style carrying case, the Platform Pack™, which can also serve as an optional platform adding stability on sandy surfaces.
Finally, the chair seat is made from a custom-designed post-consumer recycled mesh that blends polyester and TPU fibers for a seamless design that comfortably conforms to the body. This seamless seat design attaches to the frame with minimized ball-and-socket connectors that rotate and align with the body to prevent any uncomfortable pressure points.
